I tried your setup but I couldn't reproduce the issue locally with my
laptop and HD-audio device. Possibly depending on the kernel driver?
In the case of dmix, it's a poll() against the PCM slave timer. So
it doesn't take care of suspend/resume state unlike the real PCM
device. OTOH, the timer device should send notification events at
suspend/resume, and it should trigger the poll wakeup, too.
Does poll() return after the suspend/resume once but falls into a loop
due to revents being unset? Or it's stuck and never returns at
suspend/resume?
thanks,
Takashi
